Comparing his post-2008 doldrums with Clinton’s current struggle to understand how she lost to Donald Trump, the Arizona senator tells Esquire that unlike Clinton, he resisted the instinct to play Monday morning quarterback after Barack Obama beat him.

The failed Democratic presidential nominee quickly began promoting a memoir called ‘What Happened’ after the 2016 election, blaming dozens of people and factors for her defeat, but never herself.

‘You’ve got to understand that you can’t rewrite history,’ McCain said in an interview published Monday.

‘One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistreated: “I did the right thing! I did!” The hardest thing to do is to just shut up.’

McCain had the Senate to fall back on when his presidential aspirations went belly-up.

Hillary had only a series of sympathetic TV interviews and her book tour.

So nice to see Johnny Boy giving advise to Crooked Hilary… Being no true hero John McCain too suffers from Acute Trump Derangement Syndrome as well as his brain cancer… McCain is Despicable… Absolutely Pathetic… Contemptible… he disregards the very people he is supposed to represent… being filled with so much hate is not a good condition for the soul of someone facing death… McCain has become a disgrace and an embarrassment to Arizona and the nation… As a Soros stooge and a globalist he is a poster child for “term limits”… DRAIN THE SWAMP MR. PRESIDENT…
